\newcommand{shout}{...}

vital to today's authoring.
I really, really do not want this feature as just a new hack (which
actually would be quite ease), but us to prepare the core of lyx
properly for this...
I like the idea of character styles - like almost anyone who does documentation, I frequently write with a roman font, but with keys and menu items in sans-serif and user input in a typewriter font. Can't toggle three ways!
